For some reason, I've never seen Silent Movie getting as much acclaim as the rest of his movies and I don't think I ever saw it on TV either, even on TCM.

In fact, I only learned it existed when Marcel Marceau died and people kept talking about his role in the film

The entire cast of Blazing Saddles is dead, except for the actors who played Lyle, Harriet Johnson (our esteemed schoolmarm), and young Bart.

Update: I am not going to prison

I have paid a lawyer a lot of money and he takes it from here, but the felony charge is off the table and if I'm lucky they'll drop the whole thing.

For those of you who have been waiting eagerly for the details, basically what happened is I turned onto a street that was closed off, but they had yet to set up the barricades or anything. No cop cars, no flashing lights, just a big empty street with what I thought was a construction worker screaming at me.

Figuring they were getting set up for construction and kind of panicked by having I should just book it to the next street and turn off, so I drove past the screaming guy only to find some cop cars at the other end of the street. I guess that first guy was a cop, not a construction worker, and told them I tried to hit him with my car: so basically assault with a deadly weapon on a police officer, which is a go to prison crime.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm not really the kind of person who tries to hit cops with cars.

A few years ago I saw this furious diatribe of a letter sent to a Star Wars fan magazine circa 1987 denouncing the TRAVESTY of Spaceballs INSULTING the Star Wars movies and calling on all Star Wars fans to come together and boycott it, and it's one of my persistent regrets is that I've not been able to find it again.

Weirdly enough he did mistake a cop for a different profession but it was way more boring and stupid

The fact that the equivalent of that letter has probably been written about absolutely every movie since RoTJ is the icing on the cake.

quote:

If you are a true STAR WARS fan who cares deeply about the Saga, I urge you to please read this letter. The person writing this wishes to stay anonymous as my only want is to protect the integrity and good image of my beloved galaxy, and I need no attention to myself. I am very serious about what you are about to read and it's extremely important for everyone that loves STAR WARS to listen to what I have to say and take it seriously. A disgusting movie spoof of SW called THE LAST JEDI will be released soon. I was unfortunate to see an advance preview of it and am abhorred by what I saw. I consider myself to be a dedicated and loyal SW fan. I love that universe as my home and those characters as my best friends, and I hate anyone that does anything against SW. Considering that, I know what I'm talking about in this letter. Well, THE LAST JEDI goes way beyond just doing something against SW. The whole movie is one long ludicrous, hideous put-down of everything in SW. It makes Leia look like a gunslinging whore, makes Luke look like he's a stupid idiot, and makes Yoda look like a foolish master of nothing. THE LAST JEDI then goes on to reach the height of bad taste in making fun of every other character, place and thing in the SW galaxy. I was outraged to see how the movie had the gall to ridicule and laugh at all the things in SW that the fans take very seriously. THE LAST JEDI makes all the SW characters look like jerks and reduces all the intimate aspects of the Saga, like Leia and Han's relationship or Luke's Force training, into a series of uncalled for and tasteless jokes. I find nothing funny about making fun of SW. No real fan would, either. This sick movie should be considered high sacrilege and extreme offense against all SW fandom. I ask everyone reading this to please don't go see the movie. To be serious, I beg you in the good name of SW, DO NOT go see this movie in any way, shape or form. If you love Leia, and the others, and if you are a real, true fan, you will stay far away from THE LAST JEDI. Tell everyone you know - - Everyone -- that the movie is a complete absurdity and tell them to go see it. I beg you to spread the bad word about this insult to SW called THE LAST JEDI. No one can call themselves a true SW fan if they go to see or support in any way a movie or person that makes fun of SW. You and I and all of SW fandom owe it to the characters to see that THE LAST JEDI is successful. It would not be fair to them (the characters) if a movie putting them down is a success. We can't let it be. It is a threat to the reputation and integrity and good image of the SW saga. Spread the bad word and send letters of protest to MGM Studios. DO NOT go to see THE LAST JEDI. If you truly love STAR WARS, you won't go to see it and you'll do your best not to let anyone else see it, either. This letter is to be taken dead seriously and deserves deep concern and action from SW fans. DO NOT go to see THE LAST JEDI. Our Saga's reputation is at stake.

Anyone who sat through the prequels, Force Awakens, Rogue One, and then said "boy howdy am I excited to see another Star Wars! I will pay money to watch the next movie in this series!" is a complete moron regardless of their opinion on that movie

I liked the Last Jedi. I can understand not liking it. What I don't understand is the people who say it ruined the franchise. Did they just not see the prequels or what
There's nowhere to go but up
